La Liga record signings and how they have fared this season

#1 Gareth Bale (Real Madrid): €103.82m

The Welsh winger has won trophies but has been injured too often

Previous Record: Cristiano Ronaldo (from Manchester United) €96.63m

The Welsh winger became the all-time most expensive player in 2013 when he joined Los Merengues from Tottenham Hotspurs after a stellar run with the North London side.

The flying winger was at the time of his arrival in Spain, one of the most heralded talents in the Premier League as his pace, dribbling, creative abilities, and goalscoring saw him win the PFA Player of the Year award in his last season in English football.

He was brought into the club by supremo Florentino Pérez as to play on the other side of the previous record signing Cristiano in order to create the world's most fearsome attack and in continuation of his "Los Galacticos" policy.

The 28-year-old winger's time at the Santiago Bernabeu has been trophy-laden as the Whites have enjoyed one of their most successful title-winning runs in the club's history with 10 trophies in his 5-season stay at the club.

It has however been marred by his injury troubles as this has now made him peripheral in the team's affairs and it is thought that manager Zinedine Zidane will sanction his sale this summer.

He has not done so badly this season as in his 22 appearances this season in the league, he has hit 11 goals and made 2 assists.
